OLD FUNERAL "Our Condolences" [12" 2-LP, Black Vinyl, Gatefold]
2025 - Death Metal from Norway
Detailed Description
The long overdue half white/half black vinyl repress, limited to 500 copies. Comes housed in noble gatefold sleeve with 5mm spine printed on 350gsm carton and with double sided inner sleeves printed on 220 gsm carton.
Born on May 17, 1988, and laid to rest in October 1992, Old Funeral was a vital force in the early Norwegian extreme metal scene. Our Condolences is the definitive collection of everything the band ever recorded-completely untouched, straight from the original tapes. No remixes, no touch-ups-just pure, unfiltered Old Funeral, capturing their evolution from raw rebellion to their inevitable descent into darkness.
Featuring legendary members who would go on to form BURZUM, IMMORTAL, HADES, and The BATALLION, this release showcases some of the earliest black, deathrash, and death metal to emerge from Norway. Every track the band ever recorded is included, from their earliest demo sessions to rare live performances:
- The first seven demo recordings, previously unreleased outside of the original 50 cassette copies from 1989.
- A never-before-released live recording from Garage, Bergen, Norway (April 1991).
- Abduction of Limbs (1990 demo) and Devoured Carcass (1991 EP).
- Forced to Be Lost (1991), recorded at the legendary Grieghallen.
- The September 1992 advance tape.
- A rare live track from Hulen, Bergen (1991).
Presented in a stunning vinyl gatefold and 2CD set, this edition includes original demo artwork, flyers, and never-before-seen photos-including Old Funeral's very first photo session from May 1988. A must-have for collectors and a crucial piece of Norwegian extreme metal history!
